      68/ It is important that Nietzsche invest politically from the start the necessary means for reading him or reading whichever author, that he relate the signifying or hermeneutic arrangements of the text to power relations.

      69/ But what derives from this is even more important: this new relation, which overdetermines the first, which is thoroughly political, and which contains a double usage of power relations or two possible political worlds.

      71/ If this complex relation is regularly amputated and mutilated by interpreters, this is precisely because it accounts for the formula by which Nietzsche has a priori posited *the internal possibility* of the falsification of his thought,

      72/ a constitutive falsification, in this sense “willed” by him, and yet willed against his interpreters rather than against him, forcing him to perish with them as well as with the adversaries. This is what he calls: “the most dangerous misunderstandings” [fn 1].

          75/ The reason for the greatest misunderstanding will develop in *the co-belonging of fascism and its revolutionary critique, of Mastery and Rebellion, a co-belonging which is specific to Nietzsche and is the object of a veritable historical break in our knowledge of politics.*

          77/ how do interpreters, friends, or adversaries allow themselves to be caught in Nietzsche's fascist appearance and reduce his hidden aspect—rebel, let us say provisionally, to all “visibility”—to the “visible” part?

          78/ What is visible (dominant) of power is always mastery. Nietzsche thus accepts the madness of the Antichrist, and this is more than a reversal of the madness of Christ dying for humanity's sins: to assume fascism in history the better to overcome it.

          79/ Why this appearance, this semblance of mastery? Given the fluidity of the internal relations of the Quadripartition, it is impossible to organize them and to master them if not by appearance starting from one of the four terms.

          80/ No doubt, one term is more important, namely the only one that can affirm the Quadripartition as relations: it constitutes the *knot* in which are recut all these relations that break the subject of power in two.

          81/ But if it is important, this is not due to its mastery over the others (although the main term of the opposition, it is rather dominated by the secondary) but instead due to its resistance to the others, its own manner of unsettling their organization into a system.

          86/ This pole actively resists (i.e. without representing the adversary in an image or a law), this pole forces all the rest of the Nietzschean assemblage [dispositif] to move precisely because it resists the latter.
